BACKGROUND

1. Field of Invention

The bankruptcy of the Wall Street is the bankruptcy of American Value system. The lack of the innovative productivity causes the failure of the US. There is no grand innovative infrastructure and system planning. The Harvard University Business & Law school only taught the greedy CEOs and the MIT Science & Engineering schools could not make the leading innovations with the multi-disciplinary education. The US patent office still examines the patent applications piece-by-piece.

Green Technology is an integrated technology system. Green Technology supports the Green Society value structure and Green Society Safety. The grand green technology innovations need four four steps (1) Multi-disciplinary education in Ph.D. level study; (2) the isolate and independent study to strike new approach; (3) Comparing and challenging the existing technology approaches with new approach; (4) Complete and Prototype to prove to be the feasibility solution which is available technology.

The Green Technology has gone through these above four steps. Green Technology is to recycle both the resource and energy. For the resource, it is the “Less” concept. We minimize the wasted resource and find out the substitute way with new design. For the energy, all the residue energy should be recycled in the system instead of discharge and/or dissipation. Furthermore, to have the green safety society, the new and efficient way are adopted for the sensing and feedback.

As shown in FIG. 1, the 7-Less Microsystems is the core technologies of the green technology. The 7-Less Microsystems green technology is to use the re-cycle energy in the system to save the waste of energy to save the earth. The 7-Less Microsystems are constituted of the (1) Xtaless ClkGen, (2) Capless LDVR, (3) Indless SMPS, (4) Resless Current Sensor, (5) the Dioless TRNG, (6) Sawless RF, and (7) Breakless EV.

Even we list the 7Less Microsystems technology, there are other similar technologies. The clockless SMPS is the event drive state machine without clock. The event driven state machine is the self-timing state diagram. It doesn't needs the clock such as pulse width modulation PWM and the pulse frequency modulation PFM does. Therefore, the frequency is independent of current loading. The Brushless motor is very important for the electrical vehicle. Both the Breakless HEV and Brushless Motor are the noncontact frictionless electrical magnetic EM field technology. In the general terms, the EM field and EM energy recycling in the resonating system are the core technology of the Green Technology.

The Xtaless ClkGen is the crystal less clock generator. It is the clock generator has no crystal to be the reference clock. More precisely, the Xtaless ClkGen is the clock generator having no mechanical resonators to be the reference clock. It has only the electronic resonator. The mechanical resonator includes the MEM resonator and crystal. The electronic resonator is the LC resonator. The mechanical resonator has the fatigue problem of the material. The MEM resonator is mechanical resonator having the aging problem.

The Xtaless ClkGen has the unique application of the tire safety. The MEM resonator and the crystal resonator cannot apply in the tire safety requirement. The Xtaless ClkGen serves as the local oscillator to make the wireless communication between the tire and control panel.

The Capless LDVR is the Low Drop Voltage Regulator having no on-board capacitor. The capacitor is small and can be integrated on-chip The Indless SMPS is the Inductor less Switch Mode Power Supply. The inductor is much less that it can be integrated into the package. The Resless Current Sensor is the current sensor for the switch mode power supply SMPS which has no resistor to sense the current. It uses the inductor of the SMPS to measure the current flowing through the inductor. Furthermore, the Green Technology SMPS adopts the clockless event-driven state machine. The state machine is self-adaptive to operate at the optimum condition. The power efficiency will be constant over all the different current loading conditions.

The Dioless TRNG is the True Random Number Generator having no Avalanche diode to generate the true random number. The Sawless RF is the RF circuit has no external on-board Saw filter.

For the transportation, the most important green technology is the momentum energy of vehicle and the electric energy in battery can be recycled. Due to the vehicle not having energy conversion mechanism, the vehicle has poor energy efficiency. The Brakeless EV is the Electric Vehicle having no energy loss in the brake to stop process. All the vehicle momentum energy is recycled to be the battery charge storage. The dynamic balanced battery is the essential technology for the high power efficiency and high density and high capacity battery. The dynamic balanced battery makes the vehicle momentum energy is easily and efficient conversion to the battery energy through the brakeless HEV breaking system.

For the portable media, the green technology is essential to extend the battery life. The power amplifier consumes 75% of the energy of the wireless portal media. The power amplifier is actually an LC resonator. The power amplifier having low efficiency is due to the RF energy not recycling in the LC resonator.

The high efficient power amplifier has another important application for the plasma light. The high efficient power amplifier has the power efficiency being independent of the load that the plasma light can be dimmer. The dimmer plasma light can be used in home to save the electrical energy of home.

To convert the energy from one form to another form, from one level to another lever, all the conversion needs to be power efficient. The residue energy needs to be recycling in the system for the next cycle of energy conversion instead of dissipation and waste. All the system operation needs to be inspected in details.

The on-chip LC resonator is one example. LC resonator is the energy recycling in the electronic system. Before, the LC resonator is free running without any control. The Q of the LC resonator is less than the ¼ of the Q of the on-chip inductor. In other words, the on-chip LC resonator has Q<4. However, this rule is only applied to the passive filter. For the active resonator, the Q for the active resonator should be infinitive. The LC having no active components is referred as the filter. The LC having the active components is referred as the resonator. For the resonator, the Q is infinity. However, before, there is no circuit proving it. Just like the Einstein's Relativity, if there is no experiment to prove it, nobody admits it. Now, with the Green Technology, we makes the innovation in circuit to have the Q>100,000. We prove the active LC resonator having the Q to be infinity. It is referred Gain-Boost-Q resonator technology. The green technology Gain-Boost-Q GBQ resonator technology is a platform which can apply to crystal resonator, too.

Furthermore, we apply this GBQ technology to versatile applications. For the wireless communication, the Sawless LNA is the most important GBQ application. With the high-Q local oscillator made of the Gain-Boost-Q LC, we can accurately mix-down and mix-up to make the modulation of the RF signals to perform the analog signal process. The direct conversion and direct modulation technologies becomes the most important Green Technology.

For the fiber optics and Ethernet, the high-Q GBQ LC ring oscillator can work as multi-phase clock generator to serve as more than 80 Gb/s clock data recovery CDR. the Gain-Boost-Q high-Q makes the phase relation being exact that the CDR doesn't need the blindly random multiple samples to recover the data with the interpolation of multi-phase clock signal. It saves a lot of unnecessary complexity of the circuit design and reduces the bit error rate BER a lot.

Having the diodeless true random number generator TRNG to replace the pseudo random number generator PRNG, the fractional PLL FPLL is spurfree PLL.

The scattering of the RF and optical signal makes the transmitted signal blurred. The green technology polarized antenna and the polarized camera can filter out the scattering signal. The wide dynamic range polarized color pixel design is the best surveillance camera.

Before the surveillance camera uses the wide dynamic range to adapt the contrast of the light intensity. However, there is the scattering light that the surveillance camera fails to detect. To filter out the scattering light, the polarized Camerachip is developed. Furthermore, we make the innovation of the polarized camera chip to have the best commercial chip.

All the green technology of the high efficient wireless communication, polarized camera, etc can be integrated to be the green safety system.

2. Description of Prior Art

Green Technology is still a dream. So far, the Green Technology is not clearly defined yet. The US and the world even fail to recognize and formalize the problems of Green Technology. The US education system only produces the greedy CEOs causing the economic bankruptcy of Wall Street to induce the world disasters. How can the greedy CEOs to recognize the Green Technology? So far, the green technology is only confined to the solar energy and the other substitute energy. In other words, the people still fails to recognize the problem technology of the Green Technology. It is just the substitute energy. It is not green technology. There is no system concept and multi-discipline of the green technology. All the technology is divided to piece by piece. There is no integrated view for all the green technology. Green Technology is not to look for new substitute energy. Before, to most people, the green technology is only to look for the new substitute energy.

In the reality, each cell of the HEV battery has the different charge capacity. There is no dynamic balanced battery that the hybrid electrical vehicle HEV is not power efficient. The static balanced battery can be fully charged. However, the available amount of the charge is still the same as the minimum charge of battery.

Before, all the system design is the board design. It is bulky and consuming a lot of power. The system-on-chip is only to have the glue logic to shrink to be one chip. The mixed-signal design is to have the analog circuit to shrink to the single chip, too. However, the crystal of the clock generator, the inductor of the SMPS, the capacitor of the LDVR, the avalanche diode of the TRNG, the saw filter for the RF, etc still cannot be integrated into the single chip.

The other integrated circuit only considers the variations of the process, voltage, temperature PVT. For the clock integrated circuit, it needs to consider process, voltage, temperature, noise, aging, humidity PVTNAH. The humidity problem causes the clock chip to use the ceramic package instead of the plastic package. The clock chip using the cheap plastic package has the 15% frequency variance between the humidity variance of Florida and Las Vegas. Both the competitors of the Silicon Lab and Mobius Microsystems cannot solve the Moisture Sensitivity Level MSL problems that they have to use the high cost ceramic package. The clockchip is cheap that it has to use the non-hermetic plastic packaging. The ceramic package costs too much for the clockchip that it makes the GBQ-LC Xtaless Clockchip cannot compete with the Xtal Clockchip. Furthermore, the Xtalless clockchip can be the IP to integrate with the other IPs in a system on chip SOC. The vender doesn't want to use the high cost ceramic package due to the Xtalless clockchip IP.

Since there is no Gain-Boost-Q high Q LC oscillator, for the Sawless Radiochip, they use MEM or digital filter to substitute for the SAW filter. Both of them are not realistic implementations. The digital filter is bulky design and doesn't have such high speed to handle the RF front signal.

There is no Gain-Boost-Q high Q LC oscillator that there is no Xtaless clockgen. There is no xtaless clockgen; there is no tire safety.

There is no Gain-Boost-Q high Q LC oscillator that there is no high-Q VCO. There is no high-Q VCO, and then there is no spurfree and jitterless PLL. There is no spurfree PLL, and then there is no high Q local oscillator. There is no high Q local oscillator; a lot of bandwidth is wasted. There is no jitterless PLL, for the high-speed clock data recovery CDR has the difficulty to sample the data at the correct time. It puts the bottleneck for the fiber optics communication.

There is no high Q LC resonator that the Sawless LNA has the poor performance. The saw filter for the radio chip is the big cost. It is due to the on-chip filter doesn't have the good quality. Without the high Q gain-boost-Q GBQ LC resonator, the radiochip has to use the on-board saw filter. It increases the form factor of the board. It increases the cost of the system and board.

Before, there is no true random number generator TRNG that there is spur in the FPLL and the local oscillator. It wastes the bandwidth.

The power amplifier and the power management have the similar circuit. The power amplifier is in the high frequency RF field. The power management is in the low frequency power field. There are the switching loss problems in power management. Therefore, the power management operates at the low frequency. For the low frequency, the power management has the power efficiency to be more than 90%. The power amplifier has the power efficiency to be less than 12%. There is so much difference in power efficiency. However, the RF people take it for granted. There is no cross discussion between the PA of RF design and PMU of the power design to find out what is wrong. No one use the PMU discipline to improve the power efficiency of the PA.

There is no power efficient power amplifier, and then there is no dimmer plasma light. There is no dimmer plasma light, and then there is no home plasma light. The plasma light has the light efficiency more than 90%. The conventional light bulb has the light efficiency 10%. Therefore, a lot of energy is wasted.

Furthermore, there is no power efficient power amplifier; the fourth generation cellular phone cannot be marketed. The large battery charges 2 hours and uses only e hours. So, the fourth generation cellular phone and wireless OFDM system still in holding.

Furthermore, the SMPS design all uses the clock-driven design. The implicit assumption of the pulse width modulation PWM and pulse frequency modulation PFM is clock driven. The PWM is to have the clock frequency to be fixed and the pulse width varying. On the contrary, the PFM is to have the clock frequency varying and the switch-on time fixed to be constant. Both of PWM and PFM are clock driven. For the clock driven, there is one resonating frequency. As the loading current varies, the optimum operating resonant frequency should vary, too. However, the clock driven SMPS has the frequency to be fixed. Therefore, the power efficiency of the clock-driven SMPS will reduce as the current load varies.

There is no polarized color camera chip. It fails to have the best surveillance camera. Before the surveillance camera uses only the wide dynamic range pixel. There is no polarized color wide dynamic range pixel design for the surveillance camera. It fails to detect the disaster scene in the smoky fire environment.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

As shown in FIG. 1, the green technologies uses the 7Less Microsystems design arts to have the green society to save more energy, resource and enhance safety. The 7Less Microsystems is the Xtaless clock generator, the capless low drop voltage regulator LDVR, the inductorless switch mode power supply SMPS, the diodeless true random number generator TRNG, the resistorless current sensor, the sawless RF and the brakeless hybrid electric vehicle BLEV. The energy is recycled and restored in the system. They are the fundamental technologies of the system on chip SOC such as camerachip, radiochip, clockchip, mousechip, etc. To have the safety, the polarized camerachip and the polarized radiochip are developed. The high power efficient power amplifier PA makes the 4^(th) generation OFDM communication being realizable. The high power efficient PA also makes the dimmer home plasma light being economic. The dynamic balanced HEV battery makes the battery having the maximum available energy density in the driving operation. The power efficient SMPS makes the conversion of the energy much more efficient to save a lot of power loss. The sawless RF and the spurfree/jitterless PLL are based on the gain-boost-Q LC resonator technologies. The power efficient power amplifiers PA are the applications of the advanced power efficient switch mode power supply techniques to the power amplifier design. The switch inductor technology makes the switch energy recycling that the switch frequency can increase and the inductor size can be reduced to be the inductorless SMPS.

As shown in FIG. 2, the hybrid electric vehicle has the tire 1, hub 2, the drive engaging screw 3, the axle 8, the motor 7, the generator 6, the generator wheel 5, the rotating break engaging cone 4, the power management unit PMU 9 and the dynamic balanced battery 10. The motor 7 rotates the axle 8. The axle 8 drives the screw 3 to engage with the hub 2 to drive the wheel 1 to rotate. As the brake is applied, the rotating break engaging cone 4 is engaged with the hub 2 and the generator wheel 5 and the rotating hub 2 drives the generator wheel 5 to rotate. The generator 6 generates the electricity and the PMU 9 converts the electricity to store the energy in the dynamic battery 10.

As shown in FIG. 3A, it is the series-static charge balanced mode EV battery having N cells. Each individual battery cell has the different charge capacity Ci. With the series-static charge, each cell has the same Q and the voltage for each cell becomes Vi=(Q/Ci). For the safety, the maximum voltage of the cell is V. Then the charge Q=N*Ci_minV=(C₁V₁+C₂V₂ . . . +C_(i)V_(i)+ . . . +C_(n)V_(n))<(C₁+C₂+C_(i) . . . +C_(n))V_(o) To have the maximum capacity, the series-static charge balanced mode EV battery bypass the minimum cells which have been fully charged. However, this approach has the following four problems.

-   -   (1) For each battery, it needs to have the voltage meter or the         comparator to measure its voltage to determine its voltage; the         fully charged battery will be bypassed and removed from the         series for battery.     -   (2) To charge the rest battery, the reference voltage for the         DC-DC converter will change accordingly;     -   (3) Even all the cells are full charged, the available charge         still is the minimum charge quantity C_minV;     -   (4) This static balanced charge process is hard to work during         the EV in driving condition.

Since the series-static charge balanced mode EV battery has the above four defects, the parallel dynamic charge balanced mode EV battery is invented as shown in FIG. 3B1 and FIG. 3B2. As shown in FIG. 3B1, as the HEV is braked to stop, the PMUx charges the cells in parallel. Even without the charge, the battery has more capacity will be discharged to charge up the battery having less capacity to make the balance of the voltage and capacity among the cells of the battery. As the battery in use, as shown in FIG. 3B2, the battery is connected in series to have the full rated operating battery voltage.

The parallel dynamic balanced battery has the following good characteristics.

-   -   (1) The charging boost voltage is low and has more power         efficiency.     -   (2) Even the vehicle is at very low speed, the battery still can         be charged, the speed range for charging is much larger than the         series-static charge balanced mode EV battery.     -   (3) All the battery has the same voltage.     -   (4) The charging process can operate in the EV working         environment.     -   (5) This is continue dynamic balance process.     -   (6) The battery has the maximum and all available charge         Q=(C1+C2+ . . . +Ci . . . +Cn)V.

For the large amount current switch of the HEV battery, the micro-switch 55 is shown as FIG. 4. The toggle plate 55 t toggles between two poles 10 n and 10 p to make the different connections. There are the doped charge 55 d on the two ends of the toggle plate 55 t. FIG. 4A is the single pole operation. Injecting the negative charges, the plate is connected with the pole 10 n. Injecting the positive charges, the plate makes the connection in other pole 10 p. The injecting charge process can be implement with the recycling energy switch inductor as shown in FIG. 19 and FIG. 20. Two switch-inductors are needed for this Micro-switch. FIG. 4B is the dual pole operation. The positive and negative charges are recycling between two poles. As polarization of the pole in one direction, the toggle plate makes the connection with one pole 10 n. As the polarization is reversed, the toggle plate makes the connection with another pole 10 p. However, only one of recycling energy switch inductor is needed as shown in FIG. 19. The poles 10 n and 10 p are the capacitor Cgate and Cstor separately. Furthermore, the doping charge in the isolation layer 55 d is only one kind. Therefore, FIG. 4B is the better implementation for the Microswitch.

To charge the EV battery, there is the switch mode power supply SMPS. As shown in FIG. 5A, for the clock-driven pulse-width modulation PWM or pulse-frequency modulation PFM, the power efficiency PE is I_(load) load-dependent. To have the high and constant power efficiency PE for the different loading I_(load), the operation of the SMPS must change to be the event-driven. The event driven SMPS is neither PWM nor PFM. For the event driven, the width and frequency both varies to operate at the optimum condition. Therefore, the efficiency for the event-driven operation is constant over the variance of the current loading.

Furthermore, it is noted that the power amplifier PA having the same essential characteristics as the SMPS. As shown in FIG. 5B, it is the essential characteristic circuit of the NMOS power amplifier PA and the boost converter. As shown in FIG. 5C, it is the essential characteristic circuit of the PMOS power amplifier PA and the buck converter. It is well known the PA has much lower PE than SMPS. So, study the PA and understand the low PE mechanism in PA will help the re-design of SMPS to improve PE of SMPS.

As shown in FIG. 6, the NMOS power amplifier PA has the low PE to be 25%-33%. The oscillation curve is the oscillation curve having the VDD to be the centerline. This oscillation curve can be the superposition of the constant VDD curve and the oscillation curve having the ground GND to be the centerline. For the constant VDD curve, it is equivalent to the digital switch circuit to have the dissipation with the pulse switching. For the oscillation curve having the ground GND to be the centerline, it is equivalent to the buck converter to have the signal modulation having the 100% PE (power efficiency). Therefore, the PMOS power amplifier (PA) has the much better PE than the NMOS power amplifier PA.

From the comparison in FIG. 6, it is noted that the boost converter is equivalent to the NMOS power amplifier PA to have the constant VDD curve energy dissipation. To minimize the energy loss to increase the PE, we need to get rid of the constant VDD curve energy dissipation mechanism in the boost converter.

As shown in FIG. 7A1, the conventional boost converter analysis has two implicit assumptions. The first assumption is the diode voltage of the Schottky is zero. The second assumption is the parametric capacitor at Boost node V_(boost) is negligible to be zero. As shown in FIG. 7A2, the energy E_(L) stored in the inductor current I_(L) is completely transmitted to be the transmitted energy E_(t) and E_(t)=E_(L). However, this implicit assumption is a terrible mistake. The parametric capacitor at the Boost cannot be neglected at all and E_(t)<E_(L).

As shown in FIG. 7B1, it is the real boost circuit has been adopted as the industrial standard circuit. With this industrial standard circuit, we make the analytic study of the defects and energy dissipation of the boost converter circuit.

There are three energy loss mechanisms in the boost converter. The first is the parametric capacitance at the boosting node Vboost.

Due to the parametric capacitance effect, to charge up the Cpar at the Vboost node to the (Vo+Vdiode) to make the energy transmission, there is a minimum inductor current I_(L) _(—) _(min). The minimum inductor current I_(L) _(—) _(min) determines the minimum NMOS switch-on time. To make the energy transmit, the boost Voltage Vboost has to be greater than Vo. V_(boost)>Vo The inductor current has to charge up the parametric capacitor and the capacitor energy is Ppar=(½)Cpar*Vboost**2 The inductor current energy is EL=(½)L*I_(L)**2 The minimum inductor current is to charge up the parametric capacitance to reach the output voltage Vo and the energy will be dissipated as the Edis. ½L*I_(L) _(—) _(min)**2=½(Cpar(Vo+V_(diode))**2)=Edis

The second boost converter energy loss mechanism is the Schottky diode is used to rectify the current.

-   (1) The voltage drop of the Schottky diode causes the V_(diode)     energy loss and the decrease of the power efficiency. -   (2) The parametric capacitance is charged up to high voltage Vo and     the energy ½(Cpar(Vo+Vdiode) **2)=Edis is dissipated through the     discharge as shown in FIG. 7B2.

The Schottky diode Vdiode has two dual-energy-loss mechanism:

(1) the diode drop in bandgap;

(2) the voltage drop at the voltage-boosting node Vboost corresponding to Vdiode stored in Cpar.

The third boost converter energy loss mechanism is the current sensor resistor Rcs. As shown in FIG. 8A, the buck converter uses the voltage mode controller. As shown in FIG. 8B, the boost converter uses the current mode controller.

To have the current mode control, the IL current flowing through the current sensor resistor Rcs.

The energy dissipation is ½(Rcs*I_(L)**2). Rcs has three energy loss mechanisms, one resistance loss and two derived energy loss.

-   -   (1) the resistance loss is due to Rcs itself,     -   (2) reducing the VGS of NMOS switching gate to increase the         resistance     -   (3) the voltage drop at the voltage-boosting node V_(boost)         corresponding to Rcs is non-recycling energy stored in Cpar.

To get rid of the energy losses of the resistor, the resistorless current sensor is adopted. As shown in FIG. 9, the capacitor C and the resistor Rc are added to be parallel with the inductor L. The inductor L has the parametric resistance R_(L). FIG. 9A is the current sensor for the buck converter. FIG. 9B is the current sensor for the boost converter. FIG. 9C is the current sensor for the recycling boost converter. The following analysis is for FIG. 9A. However, the results can be applied to the FIG. 9B and FIG. 9C, too.

$\begin{matrix} {{{Vc}_{+} - {Vc}_{-}} = {I_{L}*\begin{matrix} \left\lbrack \left( {\left( {{\,{sL}} + R_{L}} \right)//{\left( {{Rc} + \left( {1/{\,{sC}}} \right)} \right\rbrack*}} \right. \right. \\ {\left( {1/{\,{sC}}} \right)/\left\lbrack {{Rc} + \left( {1/{\,{sC}}} \right)} \right\rbrack} \end{matrix}}} \\ {= {I_{L}*\frac{1}{\frac{1}{{\,{sL}} + R_{L}} + \frac{1}{{Rc} + \left( {1/{\,{sC}}} \right)}}\frac{1/{\,{sC}}}{{Rc} + \left( {1/{\,{sC}}} \right)}}} \\ {= {I_{L}*\frac{1}{\frac{1}{{\,{sL}} + R_{L}} + \frac{1}{{Rc} + \left( {1/{sC}} \right)}}\frac{1/{\,{sC}}}{{Rc} + \left( {1/{\,{sC}}} \right)}}} \\ {= {\frac{I_{L}}{\frac{{\,{sCRc}} + 1}{{\,{sL}} + R_{L}} + 1} = {\frac{L}{CRc}\frac{I_{L}}{\frac{{\, s} + \left( {1/{CRc}} \right)}{{\, s} + \left( {R_{L}/L} \right)} + 1}}}} \\ {= {{\frac{L}{2\;{CRc}}I_{L}\mspace{14mu}{for}\mspace{14mu}{CRc}} = {L/R_{L}}}} \end{matrix}$ $\begin{matrix} {{Vo} = {{\frac{{\left\lbrack {{Rf}/\left( {{Rf} + {Rw}} \right)} \right\rbrack{Vc}} + {- {Vc}} -}{Rw}{Rf}} + {\left\lbrack {{Rf}/\left( {{Rf} + {Rw}} \right)} \right\rbrack{Vc}} +}} \\ {= {{{\left( {1/{Rw}} \right)\left\lbrack {{Rf}/\left( {{Rf} + {Rw}} \right)} \right\rbrack}{{{Vc}{+ +}}\left\lbrack {{Rf}/\left( {{Rf} + {Rw}} \right)} \right\rbrack}{Vc}} + -}} \\ {{\frac{Rf}{Rw}{Vc}} -} \\ {= {\frac{Rf}{Rw}\left( {{Vc} + {- {Vc}} -} \right)}} \end{matrix}$

FIG. 10A is the Schottky diode for the boost converter. It has the voltage drop to lose the efficiency. To reduce the energy loss due to the voltage drop, the PMOS switch is adopted.

FIG. 10B1 is for the single input single output boost converter. As the output voltage is less than the boost voltage, the PMOS switch is on to allow the current to flow. FIG. 10B2 is the single input single output PMOS switch with the recycling driver. The Schottky diode is equivalent to the single input single output PMOS switch.

FIG. 10C1 is for the single input multiple output SIMO as shown in FIG. 12E. If the output voltage is already larger than the set target output voltage, then the PMOS switch will not open. FIG. 10C2 is the single input multiple output SIMO switch with the recycling drive. For the SIMO boost converter, the Schottky diode cannot be used. The Schottky diode is only used for the single input and single output SISO boost converter.

FIG. 11 makes the analysis of the energy loss of the boost converter and the recycling boost converter. FIG. 11A1 is the schematic of the boost converter; FIG. 11A2 is energy diagram of the boost converter. Charging and discharging of the capacitance C_(GN) is the switching loss of the NMOS switch. Charging and discharging of the capacitance, C_(GP) is the switching loss of the PMOS switch. Cpar is the parametric capacitor at the V_(boost) node. Rcs is the resistor of current sensor. Rds is the switching on resistor of the NMOS. Edis of Cpar is the energy stored in Cpar will be dissipated. Vdiode is the energy loss due to the Schottky diode. Et is the energy transferred to the output. Vbat is the voltage level of the battery. Vboost is the Voltage level of the boosting voltage Vboost. The dotted line shows all the dissipation energy. The dissipation energy includes the dissipation at the rds, Rcs, CGN, Cpar and Vdiode.

FIG. 11B1 is the schematic of the recycling boost converter; FIG. 11B2 is energy diagram of the recycling boost converter. In FIG. 11B2, the recycling capacitor Cstor is added for the recycling of energy for Vboost node. The PMOS substrate can be either biased as shown in FIG. 12A1 or floating as shown in FIG. 12A2. For the recycling boost converter, only the rds dissipation energy still existed. All the residue energy can be recycled as shown by the arrows. The rds energy dissipation can be minimized with the increase of the NMOS and PMOS size.

FIG. 12 makes the timing analysis of the energy dissipation in the boost converter. As shown in FIG. 12A1, even the Schottky diode has been replaced with the PMOS switch, however, the key issue of the energy loss of the boost converter is the capacitance Cpar of the V_(boost) node. As shown in FIG. 12A2, the Edis energy being (½ C_(par)Vo**2) stored in the Cpar is completely dissipated and wasted as the NMOS switching on to discharge the Vboost node.

To recycle the energy (½ C_(par)Vo**2) stored in the C_(par), as shown in FIG. 12B1, the C_(sto) and L_(bat) are added to the boost converter. As shown in FIG. 12B2, the energy (½ C_(par)V_(O)**2) stored in the Cpar at V_(boost) is recycled to store in C_(sto). As the NMOS switches on, the voltage of V_(boost) is zero. There is no voltage difference between the Vboost and the ground node at all. Therefore, the dissipation energy is zero. This is the most important energy saving of the boost converter. To save the energy, we use the switch-free Synchronous Oscillation. This synchronous oscillation will rely on the accurate current sensor of the inductor L current (IZS) and the zero voltage Vboost (VZS).

To save the energy of the PMOS switch, the high voltage zone energy can reuse in the low voltage zone. As shown in FIG. 12C1, the PMOS device PGM adjusts the ground level VG of high voltage zone. The charge in high voltage zone flows through the low voltage inductor to recycle the energy in the synchronous oscillation LC banks. The inductors Ls and L are coupled that the energy coming from the high voltage zone will convert to the inductor current energy immediately without the energy conversion loss.

FIG. 12D shows the alternative design of the recycle boost converter. The Csto with one series connected inductor L_(C) is connected in parallel with the battery with one series connected inductor L. FIG. 12E shows the single input multiple output (SIMO) boost converter. The single inductor can generate multiple level voltage outputs of Vo, V1, V2 and the negative voltage output Vneg.

FIG. 12F1 and FIG. 12F2 are the synchronous recycling boost converter. Not only the boosting action uses the synchronous resonator but also the MOS switches uses the synchronous drive. In FIG. 12F1, the transferring gate uses the PMOS switch. In FIG. 12F2, the transferring gate uses the NMOS switch. As shown by the recycling drive in FIG. 19 and FIG. 20, the synchronous drive is the recycling drive without the switches of the switch inductor. The synchronous drive is a free running synchronous resonator. The recycling drive is the event-driven resonator. The synchronous drive needs extremely careful design to have all the system in synchronization. The FIG. 12F1 needs two synchronous drives. The FIG. 12F2 needs only one synchronous drive.

FIG. 13 is the detailed operational analysis of the recycling boost converter. As shown in FIG. 13A, the initial state of boost converter is V_(boost)=Vbat. As the boost converter is working, as I_(L)<0, the Vboost<Vbat. As shown in FIG. 13B, as I_(L)=0 in the initial state or Vboost=0 in the working state, the NMOS switches on. As the inductor current I_(L>0), the inductor starts to increase current to build up the energy in the inductor. As shown in FIG. 13B, FIG. 8B and FIG. 8C, the inductor current builds up to the maximum inductor current,

As shown in FIG. 13C, the NMOS switches off and the voltage V_(boost) boosts up. The inductor current is to charge up the parametric Cpar to the voltage Vo first before the energy can be transferred to the output node. All the charging energy in this period is wasted. The wasted energy is proportional to the parametric capacitance of the huge NMOS and PMOS which cannot be neglect. This is the main wasted energy dissipation in the boost converter.

As shown in FIG. 13D, as Vboost>Vo, the PMOS switches on and the current flows to the output Vo. The boost energy needs to finish in the half period of the synchronous boosting operation and the on-resistance needs to be small that the PMOS size needs to be large. It causes the parametric capacitance Cpar is large.

As shown in FIG. 13E, during the discharging cycle of the synchronous oscillation, the inductor current starts to flow back to discharge the residue charge in Cpar which cannot transmit to the output. This energy save action is equivalent to the current amplification of the inductor in the buck converter. The inductor needs to recycle the residue energy to save the energy loss.

As shown in FIG. 13F, as the Vboost=0, the NMOS switches on. The NMOS is switched on and is held on as shown in FIG. 13B until the inductor current I_(LC) reaches the maximum inductor current to start the next boost charging cycle.

FIG. 14 shows the waveform of the operation of the recycling boost converter.

-   (1) At node 1, the Vboost voltage drop to zero, the NMOS switches on     and the inductor current starts to build on. It is corresponding to     FIG. 13B. -   (2) At the node 2, the inductor current reaches the maximum allowed     current and NMOS SN switches off. The inductor current start to     charge up the Cpar and the Vboost voltage starts to boost up. It is     corresponding to FIG. 13C. -   (3) At node 3, as the Vboost Voltage is larger than the output     voltage, the PMOS SP switches on to charge up the output voltage. It     is corresponding to FIG. 13D. -   (4) At node 4, as the inductor current reverses the flowing     direction, as the Vboost<Vo, the PMOS SP switches off. It starts to     discharge the Vboost. It is corresponding to FIG. 13E.     As the Vboost voltage drops to be zero, it starts to have the next     boost cycle. It is corresponding to FIG. 13F.

FIG. 15A shows the state diagram being derived from the timing waveform. The nodes 1, 2, 3 and 4 in FIG. 14 are corresponding to the four states in FIG. 15A. FIG. 15B shows the residue energy recycling mechanism of the boost converter. The residue energy recycling is shown as the oscillation curves of the Vboost and Vstor.

FIG. 15A is the complete self-contained state diagram. It can be the event driven to have the asynchronous operation to operate at the optimum condition. It doesn't need the clock event to initialize the state diagram to be the PWM or PFM. However, this state diagram can also to be implemented as the clock-driven state diagram to enhance the convention PWM or PFM boost converter. The PFM boost converter is served as the power factor correction (PFC) for the AC/DC conversion.

We can apply the event-driven boost algorithm and circuit to the clock-driven PWM to enhance the power efficiency PE of the converter. As shown in FIG. 11A1 and FIG. 16A, the current sensor is replaced the resistorless current sensor. The Shottky diode is replace with the PMOS switch. The PWM type clock driven boost control signal is gated with the (Vboost˜0) signal. FIG. 16B is to add the recycling drive to the PMOS and NMOS switches.

FIG. 16C is the single-chip event-driven recycling boost converter controller. All the components in the dotted line can be integrated in one single-chip. From FIG. 16A to FIG. 16C can be the prototype or product road map for the event-driven booster chip. It is to verify the event-driven booster algorithm first to have the prototype evaluation instead of the huge investment on development of recycling booster converter directly.

FIG. 17 is the general structure of the PMU which includes both SMPS and LDVR to be SMLDVR. It can be applied to both buck converter and boost converter. The buck converter can implement the LDVR to have both LDVR_u and LDVR_b. The boost converter can implement only the LDVR_b to be one half of the LDVR set. As shown in FIG. 17B, the digital controller is implemented with the window ADC and window DAC architecture. FIG. 17C is the waveform of the buck converter. FIG. 17D is the hierarchical state diagram of the controller for the buck converter. As shown in FIG. 15A and FIG. 18, the hierarchical state diagram can be applied to the boost converter for the recycling drive of the switching NMOS and PMOS, too. FIG. 19 and FIG. 20 are the mechanisms for the recycling drive of the switching NMOS and PMOS. The event driven boost converter as shown in FIG. 16C can be implemented with the hierarchical state diagram as shown in FIG. 18.

The energy saving principle of the boost converter can be applied to the power amplifier, too. For the digital switch case of the plasma light, as shown in FIG. 21, the resisterless current sensor, the Vboost gate synchronous mechanism and recycling drive in FIG. 16C are added to the power amplifier PA in FIG. 21. This Load Adaptive Synchronization Input will increase the power efficiency of the power amplifier of the plasma light a lot. For the analog modulation case, as shown in FIG. 22, the resisterless current sensor and the Vboost gate synchronous mechanism are added to the power amplifier PA. The N-type Peaking PA, Peaking Class C with Power Tracking, is equivalent the dynamically adjust bias PA. It will increase the power efficiency the power amplifier a lot.

Almost all the chip needs both the green technology power and clock. After we investigating the green power technology, we investigate the green clock technology. FIG. 23 shows the versatile green technology clock. FIG. 23A I is the xtaless clock generator made of the PLL and on-chip gain-boost-Q LC resonator. FIG. 23A2 is the xtaless clock generator made of the direct frequency synthesis DFS and on-chip gain-boost-Q LC resonator. FIG. 23B1 is the clock generator made of the PLL and gain-boost-Q XC resonator. FIG. 23B2 is the xtaless clock generator made of the direct frequency synthesis DFS and gain-boost-Q XC resonator. FIG. 23C shows the detailed architecture of the xtaless clock generator made of the direct frequency synthesis DFS and gain-boost-Q XC resonator.

The gain-boost-Q GBQ is the platform for all the versatile oscillator. As shown in FIG. 24, the GBQ LC has the constant frequency with the temperature compensation of resistor adjustment. Adjusting the R_(C)=R_(L), the oscillation frequency can be keep to be constant over temperature. To vary the oscillation frequency, adjusting the C value that the fo varies according to C. To vary the oscillation frequency, adjusting the C value that the ω_(O)=(LC)**½ varies according to C. In such a way, the temperature and frequency are decoupled to be two orthogonal components. Adjusting the capacitor, the frequency will not vary as the temperature varies.

To eliminate the humidity problem to use the cheap package, as shown in FIG. 25A, the magnetic field B=B// of the inductor of the GBQ-LC is confined on the surface which B// is parallel to the chip surface 11. There are two ways to confine the magnetic field B//. One is the coil confinement and the other is the core confinement. As shown in FIG. 25B1, the coil confinement has the coil 33 wrapped around a magnetic material 22. FIG. 25B2 is the cross-section of the coil confinement as shown in FIG. 25B 1. The magnetic field B// is confined with the coil wire 33. As shown in FIG. 25C1, the core confinement has the magnetic material 44 wrapped around the conductive wire 55 to have the magnetic flow in the magnetic material 44 in the same direction. FIG. 25C2 is the cross-section of the core confinement as shown in FIG. 25C1. The magnetic field B// is confined with the core magnetic material 44.

As shown in FIG. 26, the GBQ-XC has the constant frequency with the temperature compensation of resistor adjustment. Comparing with the GBQ-LC in FIG. 24 with the GBQ-XC in FIG. 26, the inductor L in FIG. 24 is replaced with the crystal X in FIG. 26. The crystal X has the inductance Lx and the parametric resistance Rx. Adjusting the Rc=Rx, the oscillation frequency can be keep to be constant over temperature. To vary the oscillation frequency, adjusting the C value that the ω_(O)=(Lx C)**½ varies according to C. In such a way, the temperature and frequency are decoupled to be two orthogonal components. Adjusting the capacitor, the frequency will not vary as the temperature varies.

FIG. 27A is the core structure of the spurfree/jitterless PLL. There is a ΣΔ DAC mechanism before the GBQ VCO gain-boost-Q voltage-controlled-oscillator. The noise will pass the noise-shaping ΣΔ DAC first to filter out the low frequency noise then feed into the high-Q low pass filter of the VCO. Therefore, the output of the VCO of the PLL is the spurfee/jitterless clock/oscillation. FIG. 27B shows one implementation of the ΣΔ DAC. It is also illustrative the difference of the ΣΔ DAC and the LPF. The LPF doesn't have the averaging function as shown in the ΣΔ DAC. After averaging to eliminate the band-band noise signal, the averaging output signal is passed to the LPF to eliminate the high frequency noise in the averaging output signal to get almost constant VCO control voltage Vctl for the VCO.

FIG. 28 shows the spurfee/jitterless Frequency & Phase lock loop FPLL has the frequency and phase adjustment being separated. The delay line is in charge for the phase difference. The VCO is in charge for the frequency deviation. The phase difference information is fed into the delay line to adjust the phase. The phase difference will feed into the ΣΔ DAC first to filter out the band-band control noise of the PFD then feed into the ΣΔ DAC to have the constant average voltage for the GBQ-VCO to adjust the VCO frequency.

FIG. 29 is the spurfee/jitterless FPLL being applied to the clock data recovery CDR. The GBQ-VCO is the quadratic VCO which is also known as the Two-Yi GBQ-VCO. There are two GBQ-VCOs in the VCO of the Two-Yi GBQ-VCO. One GBQ-VCO is to lock with the edge of the data. The output of the other GBQ-VCO is to sample the data.

The Two-Yi GBQ-VCO is shown as FIG. 30. There are four different GBQ mechanisms. One set of GBQ-VCO is to use the common-mode C and constant-amplitude A GBQ mechanisms. The other set of GBQ-VCO is to use the constant peak P and constant valley V GBQ mechanisms. Both set of GBQ mechanisms work and can be applied with the versatile different combinations, such as (1) common-mode C; (2) constant-amplitude A; (3) constant peak P; (4) constant valley V. It has the (4,2)/2=4×3/2=6 different combinations.

As shown in FIG. 30, in the generalization of the GBQ platform for the oscillator, the six different combinations for the individual oscillator of the GBQ-LC, GBQ-XC, GBQ-Ring Oscillator or the other GBQ-Oscillator are

(1) {A, C}

(2) {P, V}

(3) {A, P}

(4) {A, V}

(5) {C, P}

(6) {C, V}

The other versatile combinations are also help for the high Q that also classified to be GBQ technologies such as {A}, {C}, {P}, {V}, {A, C, P}, {A,C,V}, {A,C,P,V}, etc.

It is noted that above 10 GHz, the CMOS technology LC resonator has the difficulty to reach the high frequency. So, for more than 10 GHz high-speed clock data recovery CDR, we need to use the most advanced multi-phase GBQ-VCO. For the multi-phase oscillator, there are two different oscillator mechanisms in the Two-Yi GBQ-VCO. One is the local LC resonator, the other is the ring oscillator mechanism. The PMOS as the cross-latch amplifier for each oscillator itself and the NMOS serves as the inverter in the ring oscillator. This structure can be reversed as NMOS as the cross-latch amplifier for each oscillator itself and the PMOS serves as the inverter in the ring oscillator.

For the multi-phase PLL Locking clock, as shown in FIG. 31, it is the detailed analysis of the 4-phase Two-Yi GBQ-VCO. FIG. 31A is the symbolic representation of the quadratic GBQ-VCO as shown in FIG. 30. FIG. 31B1 is the timing waveform of the Two-Yi GBQ-VCO. FIG. 31B2 is the four (or five) latches of the DeMux-2 which uses the 4-phase clock of the Two-Yi GBQ-VCO. FIG. 31C is the timing waveform for the second stage DeMux-2. FIG. 31D shows the complete two-stage DeMux of CDR with the 4-phase Two-Yi GBQ-VCO.

FIG. 32 shows the general platform of CDR for the FPLL with the multi-phase GBQ-VCO. The GBQ-VCO can be the Two-Yi VCO, Four-Xiang VCO, Eight-Gua VCO, etc. FIG. 33 shows the detailed analysis of the 8-phase Four-Xiang VCO. FIG. 33A is the symbolic representation of the Four-Xiang VCO. FIG. 33B1 is the timing waveform of the Four-Xiang VCO. There are four oscillators in the Four-Xiang VCO. FIG. 33B2 is the eight latches of the DeMux-4 which uses the 8-phase clock of the Four-Xiang VCO. FIG. 33C is the timing waveform for the successive second stage DeMux-2. FIG. 33D shows the complete DeMux of CDR with the 8-phase Four-Xiang VCO.

FIG. 34 shows the detailed analysis of the 16-phase Eight-Gua VCO. FIG. 34A is the symbolic representation of the Eight-Gua VCO. FIG. 34B1 is the timing waveform of the Eight-Gua VCO. There are eight oscillators in the Eight-Gua VCO. FIG. 34B2 is the 16 latches of the DeMux-8 which uses the 16-phase clocks of the Eight-Gua VCO. FIG. 34C shows the complete DeMux of CDR with the 16-phase Eight-Gua VCO.

The GBQ-LC VCO has many important applications. The multi-phase is the application of the GBQ-LC VCO in the SERDES and fiber-optics communication. The Sawless LNA and Sawless RFIC are the application of the GBQ-LC VCO in the wireless communication.

As shown in FIG. 35A, it is the Sawless LNA. The GBQ-VCO generates the high Q local oscillator fc oscillation. It carries the input signal Vim to the baseband low frequency V_(mb) centered at zero frequency. Then the signal V_(mb) passes through the high pass filter HPF to be Vbb. Then Vbb is carried to original high frequency with another mixer to be Vb. Only the blocking signal Sb exists in the output of the mixture path. Then the LNA path signal Vib minuses the mixture path signal Vb. The output signal Vo only has the S_(m) signal. The blocking signal Sb is filtered out. With the high Q GBQ-VCO signal, this blocking signal Sb can be filtered out perfect. The high Q GBQ-VCO is very important for the Sawless LNA.

FIG. 35B shows the high Q quadratic GBQ-VCO is applied for the Sawless LNA.

To protect the green forest and society against the fire disaster, we need to have the green safety system. As shown in the FIG. 1 and FIG. 36, the green technology has the very important applications of the green safety system. As shown in FIG. 36B, the fire disaster video and audio warning message signal is transmitted to the house owner and police office with the phone line, wireless and internet connection.

To receive the signal clear through the fog having the scattering light and signal, we need to have the polarized system, both in the wireless RF and optical form. The I,Q decomposition is the signal domain phase orthogonal decomposition. There are the wave domain space orthogonal decomposition.

As shown in FIG. 38A, during the reset period, the reset device Mrs is turned on, and the voltage VD is self-adjusted to have the output reset voltage to be Vrs. The FPN of the individual pixel is compensated. As shown in FIG. 38B, the Vreset can be implemented as a global reset with OPAMP connected with a NMOS. With such kind of the reset configuration, the reset voltage Vreset can be send out directly as the common reset voltage reference. Each individual pixel will adjust its reset diode voltage VD to satisfy to have the common reset voltage Vreset.

As the diode voltage VD drops, the PMOS device M_(hdr) capacitance increases that the pixel has the nonlinear large dynamic range effect. Furthermore, adjust the bias voltage VPG, the Mrs has the leakage current as the VD drops. It increases the dynamic range, too.

Therefore, the rotation of the camerachip needs only less than 90 degrees to find the optimum rotation angle of the polarizer. FIG. 40 is the block diagram to show the signal processing of the Polarized Camera. First, the camera makes the interpolation for the color-polarized signal RGB. Second, makes the subtraction of the polarized signal pixel by pixel. Third, make the stretch of the difference of signals to the full scale of voltage span. Fourth, take the average over the entire frame. If the average is about 0, then lock the rotation of the camerachip, otherwise, make the increment of the rotation to find out the optimum rotation angle for the camerachip. This process also can implement with the manual interactive process. The signal can send to the LCD panel to make the display. The viewer makes the adjustment of the rotation of the polarized angle to find the optimum angle.

The following computation is based on the FIG. 41C2. For the neighboring 2×2 polarized cells, S0=It S1=2I(0,0)−It S2=2I(45,0)−It For the neighboring 2×2 polarized cells, the computation of the Stokes parameters is Sx=(α₁ I ₁+α₂ I ₂+α₃ I ₃+α₄ I ₄) for x=0 to 2 Where It is the total intensity; I(0,0) is the intensity of the e-vector filtered with a 0 degree polarizer and no phase compensation between the x and y components; I(45,0) is the intensity of the e-vector filtered with a 45 degree polarizer and no phase compensation.

Furthermore, with the addition of the capacitive MOS Mhdr and the leaking device Mrs, it has the wide dynamic range pixel design. The polarized camera not only have the polarized light to have the longer clearer distance, but also has the wide dynamic range of color. It is the best surveillance camera.

FIG. 42C is the different implementation of the linear current gain analog signal processor. However, the PMOS device PS can work in the saturation mode. There is Rlin to convert the saturation mode to be the linear operation. This is the source follower with resistor Rlin. There is no need for the amplifier OP as shown in FIG. 42B. Furthermore, the output of the reset device Mrs is connected to the drain of the PMOS device PS. With this configuration, it has the pixel level fixed pattern noise (FTP) compensation. During reset, the NMOS device NC is biased with the Vreset. During read out, the NMOS device NC is in the diode connection.

It has the leaky Mrs device to have the wide dynamic arrange. The reset with the external Vref is to have the common reset voltage and have the pixel-wise FPN compensation.

With the polarized color pixel design of the FIG. 39D2 or FIG. 40C2, after the polarized cell computation, then the DSP can process the interpolation for RGB pattern as the conventional color camerachip does. The polarized color camera is compatible the existing color camera.

For the color-polarized data, the polarized camera needs the high-speed data transmission. FIG. 44A shows the PIN driver receiver for the high-speed data transmission. FIG. 44A has the circuit detects the data maximum voltage V_(max) and the data minimum voltage Vmin as shown in FIG. 43B. The MAX detector detects the peak value of the input signal. The counter count up and down. The DAC converts the count to be the analog voltage. The source follower resistor R_(lin) can increase the linearity at low intensity light.
